Application filed November 19, 1926. Seria'lNo'. 149,389.

The main object of this invention is to provide a hair net used for protecting the hair 'during sleep or as a medium for retaining a coilfure for a longer length of time.

The above and other objectsvwill become apparent in the description below, in which characters of reference refer to like-named parts in the drawing.

Referring briefly to the drawing, Figure 1 is a front elevational viewof the hair net, showing the straps in parted position.

Figure 2 is a side elevational view of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a side'elevational view of the catch hook which cooperates with a ring on another strap when harnessing the hair net on the head.

Figure 4 is a front elevational View of Figure 3. a

Referring in detail to the drawing,the numeral 10 indicates a portion of netting material which is hemmed in at 11 and 12 to form a spherical shaped hair net. The portion extending from the spherical shaped netting forms a tail 13 which may be fitted over the bottom part of the head in any desirable position. The front edge of the spherical netting has a band 14 secured thereto by a row of stitching 15. The tail 13 of the netting material is protected from becoming frayed by a row of binding material 16 stitched thereto. The band 14: extends around the netting material to a position where the tail 13 begins. This band has secured to each of its ends a. length of elastic ribbon 17 which is provided with a buckle 18 to permit adjustability of the length of the ribbon. One of these ribbons is provided with an eyelet 19 which hangs suspended from its lower end. The opposite elastic ribbon is provided with a hook consisting of atlat plate having an eyelet member 20. This flat plate has a downwardly extending ear 21 at the lower end of which a return bend 22 is formed. A tongue 23 extends from the return bend substantially parallel to the ear 21. This tongue is provided with slits 24 which permit the deforming up wardly of areas of material 25 on said tongue to form openings in which the pin 26, which supports a corrugated disk 27, is mounted. The entire periphery of said disk is corrugated and rides upon a raised dishedout portion 28 formed on the ear 21, the

' entire surface of which is also corrugated similar to the disk 27.

' is caused to engage with the ring 19.

The hair net is slipped over the hair and the band 14 encircles the temples at'an angle, the ends of said band passing around the head over the ears. When the tail 13 of the hair, net has been fixed in place, the elastic ribbon 17 encircles the rear portion of the head and the hook on one of the ribbons 17 To prevent the ring from becoming disengaged from the hook inadvertently, the mouth 29 of said hook is closed by mounting a corrugated disk rotatably in the channel 30. When the ring passes into the mouth 29 of the hook, said ring rides upon the dished-out raised surface 28 formed on the ear 21 of said hook, engages the disk 27 and spreads the latter away from said raised surface 28 g and permits entry of said ring 19 into the channel 30 of the hook, it being noted that the tongue 23 is resilient and permits such deflection.

It is to be noted that certain changes in form and construction may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

I claim 1. In a hair net, a spherically formed piece of netting, a band sewed to one edge of said netting, elastic ribbons attached to the ends of said band, a ring on one of said ribbons, a normally closed'hook secured to the opposite elastic-ribbon, said hook comprising an ear and a resilient tongue extending parallel to said ear being joined thereto by a return bend, and a disk rotatably mounted on said tongue closing the mouth of said hook bea tween said tongue and ear.

2. In a hair not, a spherically formed piece of netting, a band sewed to one edge of said netting, elastic ribbons attached to the ends of said band, a ring on one of said ribbone, a normally closed hook secured to the opposite elastic ribbon, said hook comprising an ear and a resilient tongue extending parallel to said ear being joined thereto by a return bend, a disk rotatably mounted on said tongue closing the mouth of said hook between said tongue and ear, a raised portion on said ear supporting the periphery of said disk, said raised portion and periphery of said disk being corrugated.

3. In a hair net, a spherically formed piece of netting, a marginal band sewed to one edge of said netting, elastic ribbons at tached to the opposing ends of said band, a semi-circular ring attached to one of said elastie ribbons, a normally closed hook cured to the opposite ribbon, said hook having a flat ear and a curved tongue thereon, said tongue being curved lengthwise and extending parallel to the ear, the tapering space between said ear and tongue forming a mouth for the reception of said ring, and

a tooth-ed annular disk mounted on said tongue projecting into the space between the ear and tongue and adapted to be deflected by the insertion of saidring into said month.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
